101·vor 5 MonatenWe analyze a 5-Mb genomic region on chromosome 6 previously found to be under positive selection in domestic dog breeds. Deletion of this region in humans is linked to Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS), a multisystem congenital disorder characterized by hypersocial behavior. We associate quantitative data on behavioral phenotypes symptomatic of WBS in humans with structural changes in the WBS locus in dogs. We find that hypersociability, a central feature of WBS, is also a core element of domestication that distinguishes dogs from wolves.

And the outrage over Floyd was in the same city and erupted even more aggressively. The citizens are being more strategic and thoughtful in their dissent this time so it may be more learning than a difference in specific response. While race does change the narrative you’re very right that the visibility of the incident seems to be a major factor in the outrage and bridging of the action-intention gap.
I can second this as an organizational psychologist. They are almost always anonymous, the ones that aren’t are considered exceptional poor practice.

Well it kind of does. Less than 1k people is a lot easier to grasp than thousands for people.
They are mutually exclusive. If someone is telling you to stop someone stabbing them, if you’re response is to finish their passport application that doesn’t solve much
They would prefer an end to the genocide. Telling someone “they exist” doesn’t stop their execution.

Technology@programming.dev•Reddit is using AI to determine users beliefs, values, stances and more based on their activity (posts and comments) summarizing it to Subreddit Mods.English
3·vor 1 JahrThey however have many issues with doing so, the most important here being the need for prior knowledge to understand context. Semantic meaning in text based on the principles of the distributional hypothesis that underlies embeddings has a flaw in that it doesn’t consider context not directly in the text to ascribe meaning.
For example if I wrote everyday on reddit “God I love pizza” you wouldn’t be able to tell without prior context if I’m an Italian food fiend or I have a cat named Pizza.
While LLMs are good patern recognition machines they don’t inherently create valid correlations and can’t understand causation.
They posted the replication crisis and said that its an “art” to know which science is grounded in evidence and which is not.
You’re right, its not solved. It’s not really a problem than can exactly be fully solved and definitely not within the current structure of the journal system and the publish or perish of academia like you mentioned.
Your other post however is the nuance completely missing from what OP said which is that we do already have ways of rooting out consensus and empirical support through the hierarchy of evidence.
I pretty much agree with you, what I was annoyed about is the vague dismissal of what has been done to improve science. It’s not an art to know what is good scientific work, it’s still a science and evidence based policy and action is needed now more than ever.
Also let’s acknowledge that just posting the Wikipedia of the replication crisis and saying that makes scientific theory development invalid is total bullshit.
First that this issue was brought up ~20 years go. Second that the advancement of meta science has remedied these issues a lot. Third that we are now far more open about science with organizations like OSF. Fourth that in the example of the comic these are usually arguments against highly replicated works like climate science not small niche areas of psychology the public doesn’t interact with.

RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•I now officially run 3 games, none of which are D&D
2·vor 1 JahrRIFTS has a certain “Je ne sais quoi” that you really can’t get in other games, even Savage RIFTS doesn’t do it. It’s this horror game masquerading as a power fantasy where the mechanics are as hard to handle as the in game tech but with the right GM it’s a masterpiece of high powered insanity.
ITT a lot of people with pretty severe mental health issues who really need help if socialization is this detrimental for them
Is that not hosted by James Demato anymore? Used to listen to that a long time ago.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your opinion on ray/path tracing and real time upscaling (DLSS/FSR/XeSS) in video games?
1·vor 1 JahrThe first game I played with Ray tracing is still the best one, that being Control. Due to how the game is filled with glass the Ray tracing names it all act realistically and it’s great
I’ve used lines and veils before but that was because it was my first time running for those players and wasn’t very familiar with what is or is not ok for them
Mais il est juste l’évidence de ton point



These are sick, thanks for sharing!
